VVMic

VVMic is a standalone Windows application for processing TetraMic and other ambisonic files. It can take A-Format or B-Format files as input and produce speaker feeds for stereo, 5.1 or many other speaker configurations. You can listen in real time through standard Windows audio devices, or do off-line processing at faster than real time. VVMic uses a first order linear decoder with up to 32 outputs. It supports shelf filters but not NFC.
